Be a SmartFit Golfer Professional Physical Training is Essential for Better Performance and Injury Prevention A Joint Golf Research Study by HKSH, PolyU & HKGA
Regular exercise is good for health, but sometimes it can result in injuries due to improper warm-up exercise and insufficient muscle training, in golf, for instance. Golfers may easily suffer from chronic/repetitive injuries such as muscle strain and tendinopathy.
To better understand golf swing performance and its relationship to the physique of the golfer, a study on the Effects of Physical Factors on Handicap Index of Golfer was jointly conducted by Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and The Hong Kong Golf Association (HKGA). The study reveals that the joint mobility, muscle flexibility and strength are the crucial factors for stability, accuracy and swing performance in both young and mature golfers. Over 53% of mature golfers suffering from different degrees of discomfort may have wrong swing posture/dysfunctional movement patterns due to joint stiffness or soft tissue tightness.
